My understanding is that it is no longer produced but that it is similar to UArt. I have used an oil wash and alcohol on the Ersta I have and it seems to do fine. The sanded surface does not fall off (as LaCarte does). My Twilight II painting went through the repeated torture of being brushed off at least 10 times. I think that act, not the oil wash, is what caused it&#39;s demise.Barbara Benedetti Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091855730335169479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938918804357148344.post-85248979459416132422017-03-27T14:23:05.829-07:002017-03-27T14:23:05.829-07:00Hi Barbara

Is that what happened to you? I did try to apply some liquid (alcohol) and it seemed to wash off the sanded surface. I have not tried anything else.<br />Do you use Ersta paper frequently?<br />Best,<br />Randall K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
